The Random Story of Neko Atsume - Gozer

As a Literature student, Gozer is exceptionally good at reading other cats...including Willie, the (unrequited) love of his life. But when he sees Willie and Ganache having some suspicious banter going on, he realises that he must take urgent action to win Willie's heart.

A Neko Atsume college AU fic that somehow exists because yes

Word count: 1858

.•° ✿ °•.

As a Literature student, I am exceptionally good at reading people.

So when Mack slips me the following note during class, I instinctively know the game he wants to play.

WILLIE WILL BE @ YARD 1:30 PM. TODAY ;D

Oh yes. I know the game. 

And I refuse to play it.

…

I write back.

Source? 

MARSHMALLOW HAS BEEN OBSERVING HIM FOR THE PAST 2 WEEKS. HE SUMMARISED A LIST OF MOST COMMON WILLIE APPEARANCES FOR YOU.

Of course they have

Just as I’m about to push the slip of paper back to Mack, Professor Tina appears in front of me, eyeing the note with interest. “Gozer. Mack. I know you’re both dying for this lecture to end, but I believe Animal Farm is of a greater importance than whatever manly gossip you have going on? Unless…”

I hold my breath. 

This is it, folks. This is where she takes the note and reads it out to the class, just to humiliate me and conveniently throw me out of the closet. I always had a feeling Tina was a homophobe. Hopefully everyone else will be more accepting. They don’t seem very heterosexual themselves anyway. Except Willy, who’s always pining over Poppy…wait, Willy? What if my Willie is straight too? How will I handle that?

“...you come out and do ten push ups. Exercise is crucial to developing a longer attention span!”

Oh.

“Works for me.” Mack flexes his biceps and starts doing his push ups. I reluctantly trail out of my seat and do the same.

When we’re finally dismissed, Peaches nudges me in the hallway. “Care to let me in on your manly gossip?” 

“No. I just…need help with a cat.”

“Ooooooooooh.” She flicks her ears pointedly. “You know what they say: girls are the best at girl advice~”

She can’t even begin to understand.

Mack swoops in to intervene. “Don’t worry about Gozer Schmozer. He’s a ‘bros before hoes’ kind of guy.”

We both shoot him a death glare.

“I mean. We just need some–” Mack forcefully slings a silver striped arm over my shoulder. “–good ol’ one-on-one masculine bonding time! We’ll catch you later!”

He drags me away from Peaches and shoves his watch in my face. “It’s 1:29. Go go go!”

The anxiety starts settling in. “Is he actually there? Does my fur look okay? Am I radiating the right aura of confidence and poise?”

Mack immediately dials Marshmallow. “Has the eagle landed?”

“Yes, captain.”

“Roger. The tortoise is on his way.” Turning back to me, he uses his paw to smooth an unruly tuft of fur on my head. “Listen. You look perfect.” 

Awww. “Thanks.”

“Perfect for stalking your crush from behind a tree.”

“Nyam you.”

“Go get ‘em, tiger!”

What I witness in the Modern Yard can’t be further from what I expected.

Yet it seems like my greatest fears have come true.

Ganache is leaning suggestively against Willie on the Tower of Treats. 

He says, “Are you a banana? Because you’re very…appealing.”

Willie chuckles and gives Ganache a playful swat. “You need to step up your game, Ganacho.” 

As a Literature student, I am exceptionally good at reading people.

There’s no other explanation for this behaviour. No other explanation for that loving look in their eyes.

Willie and Ganache are into each other.

And there’s no room in Willie’s heart for me.

Dejected and droopy-tailed, I drag myself back the way I came. 

What is my meaning of life without Willie? 

Is there anything to motivate me to get out of bed every day, so I don’t rot away like a salted fish? Is there anyone I can watch in the hallways, hoping just to catch a glimpse of his gorgeous gorgeous blue eyes? 

There’s a cat-shaped void in my very existence where he used to be. It tastes mildly like sesame.

Without yin, what is yang? Without him, who am I?

Upon seeing Mack, I let myself fall on top of him in defeat. 

We lie there for a bit. He finally breaks the silence by asking, “So, did you get the intel you need?”

I groan. “He was flirting with Ganache. FLIRTING! I’m such a fool. To think I ever had a chance with Wonkie…”

“Woah woah woah.” Mack stands up and I fall on the floor. “You’re many things, but you are not a quitter. Are you seriously going to let some scrawny IT guy steal your man?”

“That’s exactly the problem! He’s the it guy and I’m just–”

Wait a second.

He’s right.

I am NOT losing Willie to Ganache. 

“I’m just a shining radiant unicorn of charisma and rainbows, and I WILL show him who’s boss.”

Mack gives me a fist bump. 

Marshmallow, who had silently joined us, brings up his holoscreen. “The next Willie sighting will be in the Cardboard Cafe at 3:49. He usually meets with Ganache there before their proper Cafe ‘date’.”

I bare my teeth. “Wonkie won’t know what hit him.”

But just as I’m ready to tackle this fiasco head on, I see Willie and Ganache whispering in front of the toilets. 

Ganache is, unfortunately but predictably, a terrible whisperer. “How about this? You are my sweetheart, you are my hero, I love you more than 1/x as x approaches zero. Did that…” He performs an unnecessary shoulder waggle. “...get your heart racing?”

Willie’s laughter usually sounds like heaven to my ears, but given the context of his joy, I’m finding it really hard to smile along. 

Ganache’s gaze flicks towards me for a fraction of a second – is that a WINK?? – before ushering Willie into the WC, heads pressed together in deep conversation.

I make a vow to myself.

I will BULLDOZE their relationship to the ground.

I angrily sweep into the library and drop my bag down on the seat next to Peaches and across from Sooty.

“Shhhhhh,” shushes Maple from the adjacent table. “Silence in the library.”

“Gozer!” Peaches greets softly. “To what do I owe the pleasure?”

I plop my bag on the ground and pull out my laptop. “Nothing! I’m just here to get some reading done and I’m NOT trying to distract myself from Willnache.” 

I immediately regret mentioning Wonkie by name.

Sooty leans over with a curious sparkle in her eye. “Willie and Ganache? But what about P–”

Maple slams her laptop shut and stands up with a sneer. “I’m sorry, but the rest of us don’t need to listen to your speculations about Ganache and Willie’s fulfilling love life. It’s cacophony to my ears, and frankly I find it a bit repulsive.” She leaves and heads upstairs before I can voice my agreement. 

“What were you going to say, Sooty?” Peaches asks.

“Nothing.” Sooty turns back to me instead, with an unreadable expression on their face. “So who are you into? Willie or Ganache?”

The cat may as well be out of the bag now. “Willie.”

Peaches faceplants on the table. “Shre-Manek’s sake, I’m so sorry for assuming your special cat was a girl earlier.”

“That is the leAST of my worries right now,” I reassure her without sounding particularly reassuring, voice crack and all. “He’s dating Ganache, I saw them bantering.”

“Interesting,” says Sooty. “Let me check with Ganache.”

“NO!” I practically scream. Lunging for her watch, I swipe a paw at hers as she sends her message: ‘are you and willie boyfriends????’

Ganache instantly reads the text. He doesn’t reply.

Exasperated, I slide my laptop back into my bag and head off, but Peaches follows hot on my heels and taps my shoulder once we’re outside the library. “Wait up!” 

“What?”

She pants for breath (she’s never been the most athletic). “They’re not dating.”

“What?” I sound like a broken record of complete and utter confusion.

“I’m sworn to secrecy, just…trust me.”

“Peaches. I know what I saw. My Litty senses are never wrong. But don’t worry, I’m going to tell him anyway.”

“From one ‘Litty’ student to another, I admire your confidence. Why?”

Why else? “Because I’m clearly the superior option, and it’s time he sees that.”

3:48. I’m in position at the Cardboard Cafe.

Willie approaches from the distance. 

Mack mouths ‘GOOD LUCK’ from his hiding spot behind a tree. Marshmallow, next to him, gives me a thumbs up.

I blink gratefully and sit up straight.

Willie smirks and slips past me to his usual spot behind the counter. “Hi.”

“Hi.” Wow, he’s beautiful. “I have to tell you something. I–”

“Ah-ah-ah.” Willie places a paw on my mouth. I don’t dare breathe. “I’m going first.” 

He takes a deep breath.

“Are you Google?”

“What?” escapes my mouth.

“Because…” He gets so enticingly close, I’m drowning in his sesame-scented cologne. “...you’re everything I’m looking for.”

My brain feels like a mush of instant noodles.

The air is so thick you could cut it with Don’s fencing sword.

“HELL YEAH!” An orange cat explodes from the tree Mack and Marshmallow are hiding behind. “What did I tell you, brothers? What you say doesn’t matter. HOW you say it is everything.”

“You know, Fred, that’s unusually profound of you.” Ganache drops out of the tree and lands next to Fred. “Did you steal that from somewhere?”

Fred flexes his muscles. “Yes.”

Marshmallow and Mack don’t seem the slightest bit phased that Willie’s boy squad was in the vicinity the whole time. Either they’ve ran through a list of all the worst case scenarios and are fully prepared, or…

“Did you all plan this?” I’ve never heard Willie sound this bewildered before.

Our friends exchange a sheepish look. 

“I can explain!” Ganache steps between me and Willie. “Gozer, I didn’t want to outright tell you that Willie has a massive crush on you but I DID try to make it as noticeable as possible.”

“We knew that if you thought Willie was into someone else, you’d finally feel a sense of urgency and make the first move. So all of the times you saw Ganache and Willie being sus were carefully arranged,” Mack elaborates. 

Marshmallow flicks their wrist to open a holoscreen showing a notes document: ‘WILLIE APPEARANCES - lol ship’

Fred scoots close to Willie. “How does it feel to be out-masterminded, crafty boy?”

“I honestly can’t believe you all,” he finally says, sounding like he’s about to murder someone (sexily). “Telling both of us that our feelings were mutual would have made much more sense than putting on this shitshow.”

“But that’s not as ✨romantic✨!” Mack and Fred interject simultaneously.

Hold up. 

Did Willie just say that our feelings are mutual?

Best Boy proceeds to give a spiel about how true love can’t be manufactured. But as attractive that is, I can’t bring myself to focus. 

Somehow, I overthought myself to success.

“So, Gozer,” Willie pokes my side with a paw to bring me back to the real world. “What do you say? Let’s leave these troublemakers and head to the real Cafe.”

I nod like a bobblehead, still in shock. “S-sure! It’s a date.”

Mack, Marshmallow, Ganache and Fred collectively smirk.

“I mean…it’s a date, right?”

Willie wraps a tail around me. “Guess we’ll find out.”

neko atsume 2 making me cry because fred looks like my josiah

[dystopyx-blog]

cat’s game clues

Do you like Neko Atsume? Do you like fan fiction?

Do you like… yandere?!

I do. Fun fact, I started out writing Neko Atsume fanfiction. Don’t ask me how I got into yandere, I don’t know. So at some point I had an idea that would combine Neko Atsume fanfiction and yandere fanfiction. uh here’s the blurb enjoy

I’m sorry to Neko Atsume fans

Mack Lackey hadn’t talked to his sister in five years, when she suddenly disappeared. Two years after that, she’s suddenly popping up everywhere as the spokesperson and model for multimillion dollar company Atsoom. Since then, Mack had been keeping to himself, thinking that if she wanted to reunite, she would contact him. What he was not expecting was a Atsoom package to arrive at his door with a paper with the words “help” in her handwriting and a pamphlet about working for Atsoom. 

Not really knowing what else to do, Mack applied for a position at the company. 

And he got it.

Now he’s an employee for the business that made his sister famous, and for some reason the only thing his new coworkers seem interested is said sister’s love life. 

And he has no clue what he’s even looking for.

 

His sister still won’t talk to him, she even seems to be intentionally avoiding him, so his only leads come from office gossip; specifically from his new self-appointed “friend”, Yu “Sunny” Sun. According to them, spokeswoman and model Lexy Lee is currently in a relationship with four different men, each one in some position of power within the company, and each one more suspicious than the last. 

First is the head of PR, Fred Dupont. 

Second is the secretary, Devlin Mascalzone.

The second in command, Torben Bolt.

And finally, Atsoom’s CEO himself, Alastair Flint.

At some point into his investigations, he draws the attention of William “Willie” Murphy, who insists on helping him. And though Mack is hesitant to let him, he doesn’t have much of a choice as the poor boy is in way over his head.

main characters: 

Mack Lackey 

Lexy Lee 

Originally Lexy Lackey

Yu “Sunny” Sun 

William “Willie” Murphy 

Fred Dupont

Devlin Mascalzone (Rascal) 

Torben Bolt (Bolt) 

Alastair Flint (Smokey)

TWST’s Favorite Neko Atsume Cats

This has been haunting me for weeks with no outlet. 33 characters + 2 bonus inclusions.

Heartslabyul

Riddle: 

Initially assumed the game would be too time consuming to attempt, but downloaded it after learning that the rest of the Heartslabyul group all play it.

He doesn’t have an obvious attachment to any of the cats, but if asked, he’ll be honest. His favorite rare cat is Conductor Whiskers, and his favorite of the regular cats is Willow.

Feeds the cats on a schedule.

Trey: 

He started playing it after hearing Che’nya and Cater mention it individually.

Did not have a favorite until he started collecting the mementos. Apricot bringing him a toothbrush changed his opinion of the game entirely.

Secretly very committed to collecting all the mementos.

Cater: 

Started playing when it got popular and has played off and on since.

While he says Lady Meow-Meow is his favorite, he’s actually very fond of Pickles.

Redecorates his yard when he’s bored, when he’s not feeling well, when he needs a distraction, during study breaks...

Ace: 

Refused to play for the longest time under the assumption that it would be boring, but caved and downloaded it to understand what his friends were talking about.

He doesn’t have a particular reason, but he’s gotten rather attached to Dottie.

The type to play a lot for a few days then forget to open it for a week.

Deuce: 

His mom also plays! They started together and send each other screenshots sometimes.

His favorite is Whiteshadow, who he has never seen. He’s determined to catch them.

There is never a cohesive theme to the goodies he sets out.

Savanaclaw

Leona:

Does not play. Unfortunately, Cheka plays, meaning he’s heard about it and seen it enough to understand when someone talks about it.

Adamant that he does not have a favorite cat, but he does. It’s Billy the Kitten.

Has considered downloading it, but the thought of his family find out stops him every time.

Ruggie: 

Does not remember when or why he initially downloaded it, but checks the yard every few days.

He doesn’t have a specific favorite cat. Of the ones he’s had in his yard, he’s fond of Gozer, Rascal, and Bandit.

Doesn’t try to get the mementos, somehow gets them anyway.

Jack: 

One of his siblings probably brought it to his attention.

His favorite is Bengal Jack! He loves the little pirate outfit and the shared name.

Refuses to put out Thrifty Bits once he has enough fish to buy better food.

Octavinelle

Azul:

Says he does not have the time, but has been playing in secret for a months.

He will never admit it, but his favorite is Sassy Fran.

Jade and Floyd both know that he plays, but they keep his secret for him. It’s all for naught when Kalim accidentally finds out and starts talking to him about it around other students.

Jade: 

Started playing after seeing screenshots online of the goodies you can put out for the cats.

Another without a clear favorite, but if you really pay attention, you’ll notice he has a soft spot for Pepper.

Enjoys the collection aspect more than anything. The mushroom goodies never leave his yard.

Floyd:

Probably downloaded it from an ad a while ago.

He loves Guy Furry. Of the regular cats, he likes Fred, Pumpkin, Bolt, and Breezy. 

Routinely forgets the game is on his phone.

Scarabia

Kalim: 

Absolutely started playing with a few of his siblings. They have a group chat specifically for screenshots.

His favorite is Peaches! The heart in their fur won him over immediately.

He checks the yard more often than anyone on this list.

Jamil: 

Downloaded it because Kalim and his sister both insisted he give it a try.

Snowball is the first cat you see and often the first memento. He was won over long before he realized he had a favorite.

Depletes his gold fish reserves routinely to stock up on the premium food items.

Pomefiore

Vil:

Wanted to see what the hype was about, got hooked.

While he won’t outright say they’re his favorites, he prefers Maple and Pasty.

Has seriously contemplated spending his own money to buy gold fish. He wants his yard to be immaculately decorated but gets impatient waiting for the funds to buy the goodies he needs.

Rook:

Has been playing for a very long time.

Bob the Cat is his favorite without question.

Epel has caught him talking to the cats multiple times.

Epel: 

Started playing after Deuce and Jack showed it to him.

Señor Don Gato was his favorite for a while, but after getting the Feathered Hat memento, it quickly changed to Mack.

Embarrassed to admit how much he enjoys playing.

Ignihyde

Idia: 

Has played daily since the game came out.

TUBBS.

He owns an unreasonable amount of merch and shows no signs of stopping. His room is flooded with stuffed keychains, figurines, pins and buttons, plushies, etc.

Ortho: 

Not as dedicated as his brother, but he started playing a little after it came out.

Loves Macchiato and Melange. Sends his brother screenshots when they’re both visiting.

Has seen Whiteshadow more than anyone else. He just knows.

Diasomnia

Malleus:

Lilia introduced it to him.

Speckles became his favorite after learning their personality is “lonely.” His grew fond of Tabitha after getting the Random Seeds memento. It reminded him of his grandmother.

Has made it a point to collect every memento.

Lilia: 

Unclear how long he’s been playing, but by the number of mementos he has, it’s been a while.

Fond of Ganache. He doesn’t have a particular reason beyond finding them cute.

Bounces between redecorating his yard multiple times a day and leaving it for weeks at time.

Silver: 

Lilia introduced it to him too.

He really likes Frosty and always keeps a goodie out for them.

Likes to check the yard as part of his morning and night routines.

Sebek: 

Lilia told all of them about it.

He had no discernable preference prior to getting the Flower Bookmark memento from Marshmallow.

Has every power level memorized.

Ramshackle

Grim: 

Was not the one to download it on the phone he and the player / Yuu share, but took over keeping watch of the yard pretty quickly.

He likes Shadow the most and will instigate arguments about why they’re the best cat.

Teases Deuce every time Whiteshadow visits the yard.

NRC Staff

Trein: 

Has been playing for longer than anyone realizes, but had to start over after getting a new phone at some point.

While he firmly believes that every cat is worthy of being a favorite, he can’t help the soft spot he has for Gabriel. He likes tuxedo cats. Sue him.

Lucius will swat at some of the goodies that have animations.

Crewel: 

Picked it up recently after the curiosity got to him.

His favorite is Spots. They match.

Exclusively sets out the expensive food.

Crowley: 

Everyone is under the impression he started playing recently to see what the students have been talking about, but he has every goodie and the yard expansion already.

He likes Saint Purrtrick.

Spends exorbitant amounts of money on this game.

Vargas:

Downloaded it a long time ago, played for a bit, then forgot it was on his phone. He realized he still had it after overhearing some of the students talk about it.

Joe DiMeowgio, without question.

Knows the personality of every cat.

Sam:

Has been playing for a moderate amount of time, but not very dedicated. He mostly plays between customers on slow days.

Ms. Fortune is his favorite cat. He leaves the carboard house out for her at all times.

Can guess your favorite cat with terrifying accuracy.

Royal Sword Academy

Che’nya:

Joined the initial hype when the game came out, stopped playing for a while after getting a new phone, then picked it up again when he started at RSA.

His favorites rotate often, but Ginger and Lexy are always near the top of the list.

His favorite yard style is Clear.

Neige:

Has been playing as long as Idia, but he’s missed a few days here and there when too busy to think about checking it.

He adores Sapphire and Jeeves!

His favorite goodies are the beds that look like other animals.

Noble Bell College

Rollo:

Probably downloaded it to keep other students from recommending it to him.

He doesn’t have a favorite cat. He doesn’t even open the game.

...It’s Spooky.

Misc.

Cheka: 

He’s been playing for a few months, but he doesn’t have a phone, so it’s on a tablet.

Sunny!

Swings wildly between liking Tubbs and getting upset whenever he visits.

Najma: 

Has been playing long enough to collect about a fourth of the mementos.

She really likes Patches.

A Tubbs hater—he keeps showing up multiple times a day to eat her expensive food, and she’s trying to collect the rare cat mementos.

NPC Students*

Red Pomefiore Student: 

Downloaded it per recommendation, but doesn’t check it more than a few times a week.

Favorite cat is Misty.

Favorite goodie is the Burger Cushion.

Purple Pomefiore Student: 

Has been playing for more than a year and checks the yard several times a day.

Favorite cat is Quicksilver.

Has the yard set up like a cat café.

*These are my favorites of the nameless students at NRC. The first is part of the Spelldrive / Magift club and is one of the two who keeps Epel from being pulled into the lake during Vargas Camp. The second is in the Film Club and can be seen in Epel’s Dorm SSR vignette. The colors refer to their hair.
